FIRST TEE
Good Morning! In a former life I published a tennis magazine and was an editor for World Tennis magazine. So tennis and tennis facilities are things I keep an eye on. And, if you’re looking to stay in shape as you age, tennis is a real lifetime sport you can stay with. My mother played until she was 88.
Thus, see below our choices as the best retirement communities for any age for tennis in southeast Florida’s Palm Beach area. Back- and knee-saving Har-Tru courts, drills, leagues and more, they have it all. Plus, check out today’s homes for sale in Florida and Utah.–David Lott, Founder/Publisher
